    Podcast Summary

    • The Mysterious Death of Zygmunt Adamasky: A Unsolved Case with Unidentified CircumstancesA local detective, DC Alan Godfrey, investigates the mysterious death of Zygmunt Adamasky in Tingley, UK, in 1980, where the body was found on a coal pile with missing clothes, signs of burns, and unusual ointment. Despite skepticism, Godfrey keeps an open mind about the case's paranormal possibilities.

      The mysterious death of Zygmunt Adamasky in Tingley, UK, in 1980, which left the local community baffled, was investigated by DC Alan Godfrey. Godfrey, a local policeman, couldn't rule out the possibility of extraterrestrial involvement due to the strange circumstances surrounding the death. Adamasky was found dead on a coal pile three days after he went missing, with his clothes missing and signs of burns and rough treatment on his body. Godfrey reported that the burns seemed to have been treated with an unidentifiable ointment. Despite the skepticism from some, Godfrey remained open-minded about the case and didn't dismiss the paranormal as a possibility. The case, which feels like the opening to a strange and quirky detective story, remains unsolved to this day.

    • The Case of Godfrey: Unusual Events or Alien Activity?The disappearance and reappearance of Godfrey, a police officer, with unexplained burn marks and a UFO sighting, remain unexplained and require further investigation. Possible explanations include criminal activity, but the lack of definitive evidence keeps the mystery alive.

      The unexplained events experienced by Godfrey, a police officer, cannot be definitively attributed to alien activity, despite some peculiar occurrences. While the disappearance of Godfrey and the strange circumstances surrounding his reappearance may seem otherworldly, there are also possibilities for human involvement. The shaving incident and the use of unidentified ointment could be explained by criminal activity. However, the burn marks and the sighting of a UFO are harder to explain and add to the mystery. Ultimately, the events remain unexplained and require further investigation. Despite Godfrey's profession and his belief in the possibility of alien life, it is important to maintain a healthy skepticism and consider all possibilities. The case of Godfrey serves as a reminder that the unexplained often defies easy explanation and requires a thorough examination of all available evidence.

    • A man's unexplained encounter with aliens and the aftermathA man's claim of alien abduction left him with unexplained experiences and disbelief, but later he was contacted by the government, leaving him feeling both bewildered and relieved.

      The encounter reported by Godfrey, a man who claimed to have been abducted by aliens, left him with unexplained experiences such as a missing time, an itchy foot, and a car that had moved on its own. Despite his insistence on the truth, he was met with disbelief and ridicule. However, weeks later, his story gained international attention, and he was summoned by a mysterious man from the ministry who showed him evidence of similar incidents. Godfrey was then sworn to secrecy, but he eventually broke his silence, claiming to have seen the same agent following him. The incident left Godfrey feeling both bewildered and violated, but also a sense of relief in knowing he wasn't alone in his experience. The incident serves as a reminder of the unexplained phenomena that continue to baffle us and the challenges of accepting the unknown.

    • Fear of being labeled as a UFO nut deters sharingDespite numerous UFO sightings, witnesses face embarrassment, loss of credibility, and secrecy due to societal stigma. Military presence and cultural differences may also contribute to skepticism.

      Witnessing a UFO can lead to significant embarrassment and loss of credibility, as evidenced by the experiences of Godfrey and other individuals in Yorkshire. Despite numerous UFO sightings in the area, those who come forward are often met with skepticism and ridicule. Godfrey's encounter resulted in the loss of his reputation and multiple job losses. Vicki Dittison kept her sighting a secret due to the stigma associated with UFOs. The military presence in the area, with RAF stations, may contribute to the belief that UFOs are not worth taking seriously. The emphasis on gardens in some accounts may be due to cultural differences in terminology. Overall, the fear of being labeled as a "UFO nut" can deter people from sharing their experiences, perpetuating a cycle of secrecy and skepticism.

    • Reports of Unidentified Flying Objects with Unusual CharacteristicsIndividuals have reported observing UFOs with silent flight and erratic movement, which cannot be explained by commercial or military aircraft, leading to speculation about advanced technology or extraterrestrial origins.

      There are numerous reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) that have been observed and documented, some of which exhibit unusual characteristics such as silent flight and erratic movement. These sightings have been made by individuals who believe they were not witnessing commercial or military aircraft. Some people suggest that advanced technology or extraterrestrial origins could explain these phenomena. For instance, an individual claimed to have witnessed four UFOs flying in a formation, which were not commercial or military due to their silence and close proximity to each other. Another person recalled an encounter with a large, orange glowing ball of light. These sightings have been reported in various locations and times, adding to the intrigue surrounding the phenomenon. While some people may dismiss these accounts as mere anomalous phenomena or hoaxes, others continue to investigate and explore possible explanations.

    • Historical UFO Sightings: Mysterious Objects in the SkyThroughout history, people have reported seeing UFOs, described as black, triangular, and hovering, with some suggesting extraterrestrial origin, natural phenomena, or man-made causes. Some intriguing sightings include a silver disc in Yorkshire, England, and copper shards with hieroglyphics in 1957.

      There have been numerous reported sightings of UFOs throughout history, some dating back to the 1500s and continuing up to present day. These sightings often describe objects as black, triangular, and hovering in the sky, sometimes with unusual markings or lights. Some people believe these objects are extraterrestrial, while others suggest they could be natural phenomena or even man-made. One intriguing detail from a sighting in Yorkshire, England in 1952 involved a silver disc-shaped object following a glostrometer, an incident associated with a large-scale naval operation. Another sighting in 1957 involved the discovery of copper shards with hieroglyphics, which some believe could be evidence of ancient or extraterrestrial origin. Overall, these stories demonstrate the enduring fascination with UFOs and the many theories and possibilities they inspire.

    • UFO Sighting in the Yorkshire DalesTwo young stargazers witnessed an orange UFO for over two hours near Ribblehead Railway Viaduct in the Yorkshire Dales, igniting discussions about potential implications and experiences with unexplained phenomena.

      The Yorkshire Dales in England have been a hotspot for UFO sightings, with the most recent notable one occurring in September 2017. Two young stargazers reported seeing an orange object moving in the sky for over two hours near Ribblehead Railway Viaduct. The area's history of unexplained phenomena has piqued the interest of many, including the speakers in this conversation. They share their own experiences and discuss the potential implications of encountering an alien or unexplained phenomenon. If they were to witness such an event, they contemplate the possibility of undergoing regression therapy or hypnosis to explore their memories further. They also consider the potential consequences, such as the possibility of their recording being dismissed or even ridiculed. The speakers also mention their Patreon community, where they hold monthly Google Meet sessions for dedicated listeners to engage with them and discuss various topics, including their podcast and potential merchandise ideas.

    • People's UFO encounters and their impact on livesPeople's perceptions of UFOs and extraterrestrial beings differ, with some reporting positive connections and others negative impacts on their lives. The descriptions of UFOs and beings also vary greatly.

      People's perceptions and expectations of UFOs and extraterrestrial beings can vary greatly, and their experiences can have significant impacts on their lives. For instance, one man, in his forties, described encountering a diamond-shaped UFO with bearded creatures. While some may find this unusual, others may have different expectations or interpretations. Some people, like Yoshihiro from Japan, reported creating lifelong connections with supposed extraterrestrial beings. However, not all encounters are positive, and some, like the man from Brazil, Antonio Villaboz, had their lives negatively impacted. The shapes and sizes of UFOs and the descriptions of extraterrestrial beings also vary widely, from cigar-shaped objects to small gray beings and tall, bearded entities. Ultimately, the truth behind these encounters remains uncertain, and people continue to debate and speculate about their authenticity and meaning.

    • UFO sightings and alleged abduction in Yorkshire, EnglandThe connection between UFO sightings and an alleged abduction in Yorkshire, England, is debatable. While some details may seem related, the validity of the claims remains uncertain due to the possibility of hoaxes, misperceptions, or natural phenomena.

      The connection between various UFO sightings and an alleged abduction case in Yorkshire, England, remains debatable. Alan Godfrey's account of an extraterrestrial encounter and the earlier reports of unexplained phenomena in the area might seem related, but it's unclear if there's a definitive link. Godfrey's experience was genuine, but the validity of some details, such as the phone call, remains uncertain. The possibility of a hoax or misperception cannot be ruled out. The dispatch was likely genuine, but what the officers saw might not have been real. The sketch pad used by Godfrey to document his encounter is an intriguing detail, but its significance is debatable. The loss of time, the drawing, and the radio's inexplicable failure are all pieces of the puzzle that add to the intrigue but do not definitively prove an alien abduction. Ultimately, the evidence is not conclusive, and the mystery remains unsolved.

    • Alien Abduction Story of Alan FreemanThe hosts evaluated an alien abduction story based on lack of witnesses and typicality, rating it as believable.

      The discussion revolved around the alleged alien abduction experience of Alan Freeman. The story involved elements of strange occurrences, such as a lack of rain, an itchy foot, and a cow kicking him. The hosts evaluated the story on their believability scale, rating it as viable due to the lack of other witnesses and the typicality of the tale. The studio conversation also included a side discussion about the hosts' comfort levels in the studio and the idea of adding a comment section for listeners on old episodes. Overall, the conversation provided an engaging and entertaining exploration of the alien abduction story and its believability.

    The Demonic Attachment Felix

    The Demonic Attachment Felix
    We have 3 listener submissions this week!

    Story 1-
    In 2010, Stephanie and her boyfriend's family moved into a spacious rental house that seemed perfect at first. Shortly after moving in, Stephanie experienced a frightening incident in the bathroom when an unseen presence tried to open the door while she was showering.
    Weeks later, she heard unexplained growling in the hallway, and her boyfriend's mother, Deborah, saw a shadowy figure in her bathroom and kitchen. Throughout their stay, the family encountered numerous unexplained occurrences, including constantly unlocked doors, an unusual accumulation of dead flies, and mysterious symbols etched inside cabinets that weren't there when they moved in.
    Despite the unsettling experiences, the family stayed in the house for a year before moving out. After leaving the property, Stephanie and her boyfriend's family stopped experiencing paranormal activity.

    Story 2-
    Throughout his childhood, Josh experienced several paranormal encounters in his family home, including seeing an elderly man in rags and shadowy figures roaming the halls. At age 5, Josh was so terrified by these nightly apparitions that he would sleep on his mother's bedroom floor, unaware that he was sleep-talking about "black robes" to her.
    Years later, as a teenager, Josh had a vivid sleep paralysis episode involving a burned figure and a woman instructing him to bleed the radiators, which he seemingly did in reality while asleep.
    After this incident, Josh developed an unexplained scar on his right shoulder that resembled a burn mark, adding a physical dimension to his supernatural experiences.

    Story 3-
    Sophia (anonymous) lived with her brother John and a roommate named Melissa, who claimed to have a demon attachment and practiced occult activities in their shared house. One night, while home alone, Sophia experienced an inexplicable incident where furniture was rearranged and kitchen cabinets were opened without any apparent explanation.
    A subsequent paranormal investigation revealed the presence of multiple entities in the house, including a potentially malevolent spirit.
    Following this event, Sophia experienced ongoing paranormal activity, including shadow figures, strange noises, and physical sensations, until she moved out of the house in March 2020, after which the haunting phenomena ceased.

    The Warped Faces and Shadow Entity

    The Warped Faces and Shadow Entity
    It's listener submission time and we have two creepy tales for you today! In the first story, Chris and his friend Mike were interested in the paranormal and started using a Ouija board. Initially, nothing unusual happened, but then they connected with a spirit named Adam Greene. They asked for signs of his presence, and the planchette spun rapidly and flew off the board. Another time, they heard slow, pounding footsteps behind a sheet hung in the doorway, followed by a flash of light. 
    Over time, Adam's messages turned darker and insulting, and he seemed to shift to an evil persona named "Fuzzy". Paranormal events intensified. Chris had an out-of-body dream where he flew over Mike and his parents. Mike revealed they had all seen a shadow fly over them in real life. Chris believes the entity may have been the demon Zozo based on the double Z in the name, the evil energy, and the bad luck they experienced, including Mike's uncle passing away. Eventually, they stopped using the board as too many disturbing things were happening.
    Story #2 involves Robin.
    When Robin was six, his friend Jason's father took them to a cemetery in the woods at 2-3am after giving them beer. They opened a grave, saw a skeleton, then heard loud footsteps and shrieking. Soon after, Robin began seeing terrifying faces peeking into his room at night that would vanish when he looked directly at them. It caused him great fear, keeping him up at night. One time, he woke to see a face at the foot of his bed staring at him, then his covers flew off by themselves. He ran out of the house in terror. At age 16, Robin returned to the cemetery with friends and was chased off by the angry landowner. That night, they all had the same nightmare of a ghostly female figure screaming at them from the disturbed grave. Now at 21, Robin still sees the scary faces and also hears disembodied sounds. Most frighteningly, he sees a tall, pitch-black figure darker than the surrounding darkness appearing in doorways and on the stairs. It sometimes charges at him on all fours before vanishing. Photos never capture this haunting presence. Robin doesn't believe enough in God to get an exorcism, so he is trying to cope with the ongoing supernatural torment.

    Mike Ricksecker | Paranormal Researcher and Author - Interview

    Mike Ricksecker | Paranormal Researcher and Author - Interview
    We are excited to continue our monthly interviews with Mike Ricksecker.
    Mike is the author of the best-selling books A Walk In The Shadows, and Alaska's Mysterious Triangle, as well as several historic paranormal books. His latest best-selling book is Travels Through Time: Inside the Fourth Dimension, Time Travel, and Stacked Time Theory, published in 2023.

Mike is the producer and director of the docu-series, The Shadow Dimension, available on several streaming platforms, and produces additional full-length content on ancient wisdom, lost civilizations, and the supernatural on his extensive YouTube channel.

    For more than six years he has hosted The Edge of the Rabbit Hole livestream show and also hosts the Connecting the Universe interactive class. He operates his own book publishing and video production company, Haunted Road Media, representing a number of authors, and winning the award for Excellent Media in The Paranormal Field at the 2019 Shockfest Film Festival.Mike’s historic paranormal articles have been published in The Baltimore Sun, Paranormal Underground Magazine, and he previously wrote an Oklahoma City paranormal column for Examiner.com (2010 – 2014).

He now hosts many of these articles along with informational videos and learning courses on the Connected Universe Portal website.

    In this interview, Mike Ricksecker discusses his personal experiences with shadow entities and other supernatural phenomena that set him on his current path. He explains his "stacked time" theory, proposing that time is not linear but that past, present and future exist concurrently. Ricksecker suggests some ghostly encounters may actually be "time slips" where two moments resonate at the same frequency. He also shares insights on the unique energy and phenomena of the Alaska Triangle, the possible link between aliens and shadow people, and his view that while some shadow entities may be demonic, interdimensional, or extraterrestrial, we shouldn't overgeneralize them as all being evil. Finally, Ricksecker discusses astral projection and his belief that the key to time travel lies in achieving specific meditative states, something challenging for busy modern lifestyles. His ideas provide an open-ended, thought-provoking perspective on the paranormal.

    The Kelly Cahill Alien Abduction

    The Kelly Cahill Alien Abduction
    In August 1993, Kelly Cahill, a 27-year-old mother of three from Victoria, Australia, experienced a life-changing UFO encounter. While driving home from a party with her husband, Andrew, they witnessed a mysterious craft with orange lights in a nearby field.
    Later that night, they encountered the same object hovering above the road, and as they approached it, they saw figures inside before it disappeared.
    Suddenly, a bright light engulfed their car, and they experienced a mysterious blackout, losing an hour of time. In the following weeks, Kelly and her husband suffered from various inexplicable symptoms, including headaches, nausea, and fatigue. Kelly discovered a strange triangular mark and a scar on her body. As her memories of the encounter began to resurface, she recalled being approached by tall, thin, black figures with luminous red eyes.
    Despite the entities' telepathic reassurances, Kelly felt an overwhelming sense of evil and terror. Kelly reached out to Bill Chalker, a renowned UFO researcher, who investigated the incident and discovered additional witnesses who had similar experiences that night.
    The investigation uncovered physical evidence at the site, including chemical and magnetic anomalies, unusual radiation readings, and inexplicable marks in the field. As Kelly's story gained media attention, she became a prominent figure in the UFO research community. She appeared on television shows, participated in conferences, and authored a book titled "Encounter:
    The True Story." Despite the incredible nature of her account, Kelly Cahill has been consistently regarded as a credible witness, with no history of mental illness or apparent motive for deception. Her experience remains one of the most compelling and well-documented cases in UFO history.

    Finland's Myths and Monsters

    Finland's Myths and Monsters
    Finland, a land of breathtaking landscapes and rich history, is home to a captivating array of mythical creatures and tales.
    From the depths of the sea to the heart of the forest, these legends have been woven into the fabric of Finnish culture for centuries. The malevolent Iku-Turso, known as the "ox of death" and "father of diseases," lurks in the ocean's depths, while the mischievous Menninkäinen, reminiscent of hobbits and gnomes, dance in the woods and delight in riddles and shiny treasures. 
    In the vast forests, one may encounter the shape-shifting Peikko, giant trolls feared as bogeymen who kidnap and torture children.
    The enchanting Keiju, delicate fairy-like beings, grace the skies and woodlands in three distinct forms: Luonnotar, Ilmatar, and Metsänneito. The enigmatic Hiisi, towering humanoid creatures, dwell in the mountains and forests, marking sacred sites and challenging those who dare to enter their domain.
    These powerful spirits can be both malevolent and beneficial, causing harm or offering aid when summoned by skilled shamans. The Näkki, a seaweed-clad immortal water demon, haunts the depths of ponds and rivers, luring unsuspecting children to their watery graves. Only through the utterance of magical incantations can one hope to escape its grasp.
    Lastly, the majestic Otso, the king of the forest and bear spirit, is revered as a friend, brother, or even a transformed human, symbolizing the deep connection between the Finnish people and the natural world.
    These mythical beings, each with their unique characteristics and stories, continue to capture the imagination and inspire awe in those who explore the fascinating realm of Finnish mythology.

    Sleep Paralysis Stories: Vol 1

    Sleep Paralysis Stories: Vol 1
    Sleep Paralysis Stories: Volume 1

    Over the years we have had tons of listeners submit potential sleep paralysis stories, so we decided to combine a handful of them into a new, unique listener submission collection - sleep paralysis stories!
    Sleep paralysis is a terrifying experience where individuals find themselves conscious but unable to move, often accompanied by hallucinations of shadow figures, entities, and the infamous "old hag."
    Theories range from supernatural encounters to a dream-like state caused by the brain's inability to control the body during sleep. People from various locations have shared their unsettling experiences, highlighting the fear and helplessness felt during these episodes.
    Some individuals, like Madison, have had sleep paralysis for years, with recurring visions of a woman in a 1920s dress and the mysterious "Hat Man." Despite the initial terror, Madison eventually found comfort in these encounters, particularly during a difficult period in her life when a shadow figure appeared to offer support. Alex, on the other hand, had a particularly vivid experience involving a menacing dog and a shadowy figure, leaving him questioning the line between reality and dreams.
    Zacharia, a 15-year-old living in an old San Francisco house, has been sensitive to the paranormal for years. He has seen balls of light, experienced unexplained occurrences, and even encountered an apparition he calls "George."
    Recently, Zacharia has been experiencing nightly episodes of sleep paralysis, accompanied by strange noises and a feeling of being weighed down, leading him to believe that a poltergeist may be responsible.
    Kieren, who has had various paranormal encounters, including UFO sightings and experiences with spirits, learned about sleep paralysis through his studies as a biology major.
    While his first experience was relatively tame, a subsequent episode involved a shadow person appearing in the corner of his eye. By reminding himself that it was a trick of the mind and focusing on relaxing his muscles, Kieren was able to make the shadow disappear and regain control of his body.

    The Contorting Entity Hugo

    The Contorting Entity Hugo
    The Contorting Entity Hugo

    It's listener submission time again! The listener has requested to stay anonymous, so as always, we got a Sophia story!

    From a young age, Sophia possessed an innate sensitivity to the paranormal, able to sense the emotions and energy of those around her, including spirits. Despite her belief in ghosts, she had never directly encountered a shadow person until she was 12 or 13 years old. 
    In her bedroom, she began to feel a presence watching her, which she eventually named "Hugo." Initially, the presence seemed benign, but after a series of unsettling events, including a lotion bottle mysteriously moving and recurring dreams of Hugo clinging to her wall with large, black eyes, Sophia's fear grew, forcing her to seek refuge in her sister's room. 
    Sophia's family home in Georgia, shared by her parents, sister, and grandparents, held its own secrets. She always felt nervous in her grandparents' house, hearing strange noises at night that were dismissed as the settling of an old house.
    As a young adult, while living in a nearby mother-in-law suite with her fiancé, Sophia experienced intense feelings of panic and unease when alone in the main house, particularly while using the bathroom. These feelings eventually subsided, only to be replaced by scratching sounds and other unexplained occurrences.
    One morning, while Sophia's grandfather was confined to a hospital bed in the living room, she heard knocking and footsteps while showering. The footsteps ran down the hallway towards the spare rooms, but the door, known for its loud creak, never opened. When Sophia emerged from the bathroom, she found the door still shut and her grandfather claiming to have heard nothing.
    Shaken, she quickly left the house, marking the end of her personal encounters in the family home. Despite the passing of her grandfather, Sophia's grandmother (Nanny) continues to reside in the house, claiming to have friendly encounters with ghosts.
    Both Sophia and her Nanny have experienced moments that felt like the presence of her late grandfather, leaving them to wonder about the reality of their experiences. Though the fear was genuine at the time, Sophia now reflects on these events with a sense of curiosity and wonder, forever changed by her journey through the paranormal.
